a traveling skunk

last night was a bit stuffy in the house, so i left my little fan on to cool off my room. early this morning i was awakened by the overpowering stench of the skunk. i'm wondering if this is the same skunk that used to be outside my window back when we lived in the house? every night for about two weeks, that same skunk was in my driveway. i thought he had literally moved in to stay but now it seems he likes to travel. hmm, he must be quite old by now but maybe not, maybe he was only a young spry back in 1993.
